Quarter After One I Need You Now Novels & Stories

"And you have to pay off the debt within one month!" "What? No!" whispered Sebastian, narrowing his eyes. "Now, before I get angry again, you better get on the bed and accompany Nora. You've already been paid your full salary, so it matches the wages you received. Now go! I still have a lot of work!"

“But still, it seems impossible to work it out, besides, I don't want to rush things...if there's ever going to be a thing” Karen walked back into the living room with a small tray in her hands. The pretty pink tray had a plate of cookies on it as well as two glass of milkshakes. I took a glass and a slice of the baked cookie that still felt warm in my hands. “Look, you have got to ask yourself certain questions. One is, what do you want now? Do you like Damon Calderon? Are you ready to forfeit your own happiness just so people won't talk?”

I can see his annoying shit handsome face and I suddenly feel like crying even though I don't know why. " How's life? " I stare at him blankly. Did he just call to ask me how my life is or how life is or whatever? I suddenly feel like an idiot. My hormones are now sad and not acting shitty like before, the way they were at the party . " I hate you " And I begin to walk away but as usual he grabs me. " You are going to listen to me and not walk out on me. I came all this way to this shitty party just to talk to you and I deserve that respect "

"Fifi, you're heading somewhere new. If you need anything, just give us a call." "That's right. Don't push yourself. We'll always have your back." It was the first time they had ever said something like that to me, even if they sounded a little stiff doing so. My silence only made things more awkward. Riley pushed the dessert toward me to ease the tension. "Try this. I made it myself." I glanced at the thick layer of mango on top and replied flatly, "No thanks. I'm allergic to mango." Riley blinked in surprise.

She tasted bland. Without thinking, I pushed her away. She looked at me confused, not knowing what went wrong. “What happened?” Alicia asked me. “Do you want me to kiss slowly?” “Something came up.” I said, as I handed bundles of dollars to her. “I'll see you around.” I walked out of the club, with my men trailing behind. As soon as I got to my room, one thing was certain. I craved for someone. Iris. Trying to drown the thoughts, I decided to spar with my men.

"Nate, I love you too much to ask you to be my fall back guy until the time is right for me to be with Leo again. That's not fair to you." "It is if that's what I want. And I do." I brushed a kiss over her temple. "I'll be your fall back, Quinn. I'll be your in-between. Your rebound. I just want to be with you for now." Because now is the only time I have. I didn't speak the words out loud, but I heard them in my head. "You don't have to say yes right now. Just ...don't say no." The music ended, and a new, faster song began to play. Quinn covered my hands, still at her waist, with her own and stepped back. She looked at me for a long moment before she squeezed my hands and nodded. "Okay."

I tossed a prenatal checkup report onto the desk, watching as unease spread across Marshall's face. "This is what you mean by 'I'm the only one'?" "This is your so-called 'past tense'?" The report clearly showed a pregnancy of 12 weeks, and the patient's name was Crystal Payne. Crystal had just wrapped up shooting her ad campaign. As of yesterday, the posters had been launched nationwide across stores, with no chance of recall. Her public image was now tied to the product, and any scandal involving her would undoubtedly impact sales.

I just replied still facing my back on him and run out the building. Why do you have to be in an accident today, Quianna? ---

Grayson smirks but obliges, leaving me to have a pity party for twenty more minutes before I have to put my game face on and deal with the world. It’s quarter to one when Grayson beeps me over the intercom. “Hey, uh, Q?” “I drank all the fluids you gave me and ate the muffin!” I yell back as I finish up the report for next week’s shareholder meeting. I like to have everything ready ahead of time in case something goes wrong. Because something always goes wrong. “Yeah, that’s great, but that’s not why I’m calling. Your, um… your one o’clock is here…”

And at times when you're too weak, I'll be your strength. We're a team. You need not to face a storm alone cause I'll always be with you. I love you with extreme certainty, Maze Johnson-Thornton. We still have one wedding left. But for now, I want you to take my hand and begin again. Let's love each other, all over again." THE END
